Brand new, paint still smelling fresh, from the builders this morning at 1st light.
Special dispensation from the boss to photograph this one.
I think this is the first ship I have seen fresh from the builders since LORD HINTON came around from the Clyde in 1986
And ...... I found out that the WHITCHALLENGER brings MGO from Fawley and the THUN GRACE , and now THUN BLYTH, load and distribute up and down the coast.
Well you don't see them come in and there is a flipping great mound which you cannot climb any more to see them.

She is Ferus Smit's yard no. 459 and I think must be from the Leer yard not the Dutch one.
First time I have seen a 'NaabsaMAX' ship!

More information:- Thun Tankers BV. Chemical/Oil Products Tanker.
2,955 Gross. 4,250 Dwt.
In service 6th November 2020, entering Blyth on her first visit at 0800 this morning from Eemshaven. Not the best of mornings but at least it was not raining, that came later......

I thought it was 'Not Always At Blyth Sails Anywhere'
